The MA program in Art Education gives students the opportunity to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be well-informed and reflective practitioners, teachers and researchers. The program consists of a coherent pattern of courses and other educational experiences, either a research thesis or a final project, and a final oral examination.

The Online MA in Art Education program engages arts educators working in K-12 schools, museums, and community settings who want to transform their understanding of contemporary approaches to teaching and art-making. In an interactive online community of arts educators and world-class faculty, students develop approaches based in current art education research to cultivate their own artmaking practice and invigorate their teaching. 

The Online Master's Degree Program in Art Education at The Ohio State University is the first and premier online art education offering in the United States. It is a 30-hour comprehensive program students can complete in three semesters as a full-time student or six semesters as a part-time student. This program does not lead to a teaching license.
